Zaria vs. Lash Legend [NXT Women’s North American Championship Qualifier]
This was quite the feat of strength between Zaria and Lash Legend. Despite both having their tag team partners outside, it remained a clean contest. There were times when Legend dominated but Zaria ultimately came out on top, thus becoming the first qualifier for the NXT Women’s North American Championship six-woman ladder match.

Kelani Jordan and Roxanne Perez Chat Backstage
Kelani Jordan and Roxanne Perez were trying to chat up Ava for a spot in the Stand & Deliver ladder match. Ava then informed them that they would be actually fighting each other for that spot with a qualifier match of their own.

The D’Angelo Family’s Intel On Darkstate
The D’Angelo Family had another intense backstage meeting and, this time, their focus was Darkstate. They broke it down to each member of the group, and it appears The D’Angelo Family is going to keep a close eye on them.

Hank & Tank Get Tag Team Advice
Hank Walker & Tank Ledger got some tag team advice from SmackDown’s Pretty Deadly. The advice apparently included wearing Pretty Deadly’s signature ring gear tops. Hank & Tank soon got rid of this when their opponents for tonight, No Quarter Catch Crew’s Myles Borne and Tavion Heights, saw them.
"To be stars, you need to look like stars!"
Pretty Deadly has @TankLedgerWWE and @HankWalker_WWE looking great! 😂#WWENXT pic.twitter.com/yA9AqViWQ2

Myles Borne & Tavion Heights vs. Hank & Tank
This match was chaos in every right way! No Quarter Catch Crew’s Myles Borne & Tavion Heights went up against Hank & Tank. At the end of it all, Borne and Heights picked up the victory, surely putting pressure on Ava to consider giving them a title shot.
YES BOY?!
YES BOY!!!@HankWalker_WWE and @TankLedgerWWE are rolling! 👊#WWENXT pic.twitter.com/KYZQGDNi3t

Trick Williams Wants All The Smoke
Trick Williams headed to the ring, ready to call out NXT Champion Oba Femi. Instead, Je’Von Evans came out to address him. Soon, they were joined by Femi.
The three were going back and forth, belittling each other. Ava finally came out, and she confirmed that they will be in a triple threat for the NXT Championship at Stand & Deliver. Following their attacks on each other, Darkstate pounced and attacked all three members.
We got ourselves a Triple Threat Match for the #WWENXT Championship! 🍿@Obaofwwe vs. @_trickwilliams vs. @WWEJeVonEvans at #StandAndDeliver!!! 🙌#WWENXT pic.twitter.com/pWmbwfosUK

Backstage Chaos
Andre Chase is evaluated by the medical team and told that he has a cracked rib and needs to go home, which Uriah Connors and Kale Dixon volunteer to assist with. As they’re wheeling away, Parker and Grace are embroiled in a full-on battle backstage. NXT Tag Team Champions Nathan Frazer & Axiom got challenged by WWE Evolve tag team, Swipe Right, for next week – and they accepted.

Roxanne Perez vs. Kelani Jordan [NXT Women’s North American Championship Qualifying]
Roxanne Perez and Kelani Jordan both know what it takes to hold gold, and they look to get into champions ranks once more. Both Perez and Jordan showed off their dynamic nature, and it all came down to who could outmaneuver the other. Ultimately, Jordan was the better woman tonight, and she goes on to Stand & Deliver.
.@roxanne_wwe is going deep in her bag for this one 😮💨#WWENXT pic.twitter.com/hHLLQCC4Zi

Ava’s Announcement
Backstage, Ava confirmed a major six-man tag team match for next week’s episode of NXT. Femi, Williams, and Evans will team up to take on three of Darkstate’s members. Will Darkstate manage to further drive fear into the hearts of NXT, or can Femi, Williams, and Evans find a way to co-exist for just one night?
THANK YOU, AVA! 🙌
Darkstate will take on @Obaofwwe, @_trickwilliams & @WWEJeVonEvans in a Six-Man Tag Team Match NEXT WEEK! 🤯#WWENXT pic.twitter.com/zoGwmGhKRO

Shawn Spears (c) vs. Ricky Saints [NXT North American Championship]
Shawn Spears, flanked by The Culling, made his way to the ring, confident that he would retain the NXT North American Championship. Ricky Saints managed to make good on his promise, and he claimed the title. Of course, he had to survive the efforts of the entire Culling clan first.
HE DID IT!!!!
RICKY SAINTS IS THE NEW NORTH AMERICAN CHAMPION!!!#WWENXT pic.twitter.com/G7jaTTKjJQ

Spears’ reign ends at just 28 days, making it the sixth-shortest in the title’s lineage. For Saints, it was a short-lived celebration, as Ethan Page attacked him. Regardless, Saints overtakes Page as the fastest to claim an NXT Championship from debut.
PARTY. OVER. @OfficialEGO couldn't let @starkmanjones have the spotlight! 😡#WWENXT pic.twitter.com/BuMwQeKdeF
